LARP-ing Movies

Seriously, there are at least two documentaries about Live Action Role Playing.

Darkon: The Movie follows folks from The Darkon Wargaming Club, a SCA-like group that conducts fantasy based games. They’ve even put up links to a PDF version of their >200 page rulebook here.

Darkon: The Movie is probably benefitting greatly from the fact that its Amazon.Com product page incorrectly list George Clooney as appearing in the film.

Monster Camp (warning, completely POS Flash-based navigation) is scheduled for release on DVD in September. It follows folks participating in a New England Role Playing Organization LARP in Seattle, Washington.

By Grabthar’s Hammer, Someone Needs to Make This Action Figure

My wife is totally in love with Alan Rickman, so when I showed her this Dr. Lazarus custom figure that Toyfare featured in their September 2008 issue I thought she was going to swoon. It turns out that IDW is going to be publishing a Galaxy Quest comic beginning in August. The figure, by the way, is done by Kyle Robinson who does some of the best custom figures I’ve ever seen.
